Early Settlers on the Mikonui

Charles Shearer (b 1826 in Denny, Scotland) and his wife Janet (b Costdyke, Scotland) settled in Mikonui in 1868. In 1881 Charles advertised his Mikonui River water-race for sale in the West Coast Times for two hundred pounds.

gollark: NO EVIDENCE of actual implementation (except maybe the parser)NO COHERENT SPEC describing how any if it actually worksLANGUAGES WERE NOT MEANT TO HAVE TYPES BE TRAITS OR WHATEVERWanted to use macros anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that. It was called Lisp."Hello I would like impl<u8(a)> T(a) apples please" - statements made by the utterly Deranged.And after all the computers and compiler tooling we gave them!

gollark: Well, the lesson is more that LyricLy's language ideas are bad and impossible.
